The control panel on the Atlas Copco XATS 156C is located at the center of the rear end of the unit. It groups components like the air pressure gauge and the control switch. To operate it:

1. Locate the control panel at the rear center of the unit.
2. Use the control switch to start or stop the compressor.
3. Monitor the air pressure using the air pressure gauge.

No further operating steps are detailed in the provided context.
